Press down Turn up your frown My sweet cherry Melancholy Ain't done yet, the devil got hold on me Ma told me, don't mess with the monster Black as hell, a bitter cup Strong as death and sweet as love Stick 'round I'm coming down Tamper the blues Brew for a brood Ain't done yet, the devil won't keep me Father he told me that Jesus'll save Black as hell, a bitter cup Strong as death and sweet as love Ain't done yet, the Sweet Lord'll save me Sister she said now, stand straight and look up Black as hell, a bitter cup Strong as death and sweet as love

Heliosphere 05:24
Moon don't care with her rictus grin Catch your ride on the solar wind For free Watch yourself, there's plenty of room Make sure you don't tread where the flowers a'bloom Or else Well, where have you been? When there ain't no place you've gotta be? And where will you go? When everywhere's a big load of nothin' now? I'd say it's about time to live A half past whatever, a quarter to star Head's hurtin' with the infinite Where do you memories go when you forget them? Slipstream in the madness The greatest gift is from God above Well here's the long and short and I think you know It's death and it's life, no to and fro Ahh - blink and you'll miss it, baby

Rose lens / Halcyon Days gone / Better then Past lies / Future dry “The present is best!” the hubris decry A muted sorrow Continues to follow Rose lens / Halcyon Rain begins / Once a friend Now volley and strike; wrest and rend Always a stranger Never alone Reasons for joy But never my own Rose lens / Halcyon

Lek ‘fore a bower Beetles and coins Dance in a whirl of leaves Blood on a cross Crest for a plume Dream until I believe Watch with a magpie fascination Warble her name and squabble for fame Top of the tree only reaches so far And I’m just one other star Please see me please Please give me what I want Please see me please Please tell me I’m enough

Straw Man 04:21
Watch the people in their screens They sure know how to strike a light And so fixed upon their decree They'd die on the hill with their echoes and rights Watch them chase the man of straw Who stand in the crosshairs, burden your flaw Not living life, or playing a game And watch their gas light burst into flame You think your sorrows would be fixed If we closed our eyes and followed your lies That ain't it, you can't catch a trick May be yours but it ain't mine Watch them chase the man of straw Over the fields and through the storm Not living life, or playing a game There fire up their gas lights and burst into flame Whistle in dark Narrow the path Choked with thorns Hard to find Whistle in dark Narrow the path You and I Repay in kind Watch them chase the man of straw Over the fields and through the storm

They're hunting eggs on Easter Sunday No pocket money, bills to pay Merry Christmas, happy day You just tell 'em, go away Wheels are broke, bombs are falling And sometimes you'll have to leave The galaxy sometimes happens Your problems never bigger than Scuff your knee and smell the grass The slowest days are quick to pass Wheels are broke, bombs are falling And sometimes you'll have to leave

Woke this morning Saw the sky dark with a vale of tears Woke this morning The sky hung over me full of rain My baby's gone, the bed is cold next to me I fear I heard her crying On the otherside of our bedroom wall Yeah I heard her crying Echoes behind that bathroom door Well baby, what can I do now to make it better? She said, Let go - I'm already gone I found a rope And my baby won't say what it's for Said I found a rope And I pray I don't know what's for She drove away in the dark night I heard them tyres roar My heart is helpless Strength failing every day Yeah my heart is helpless My strength failing further every day Don't shuffle off that mortal coil, baby I'm alone, and I need you here

Act I - Amber Ex nihilo Ex nihilo Ex nihilo Ex nihilo Wandering star Born of chaos Scatter the pollen In my image Act II - Embers Speak to me now, through the flames and trees Through thunder claps and summer freeze This life is yours now with a world to yield And let us go into the field Why are you incensed? / Why has your face fallen? Why are you incensed? / Why has your face fallen? Rivers flow now, free of toil And harvest rich of prudent soil Your life is mine now, with a knife to wield Brother, let us go into the field Where is your brother? / I ain't his keeper Where is your brother? / I ain't his keeper Suum cuique Suum cuique Suum cuique Suum cuique Act III - Umbra Here, dance the husks of men through the fire and ash And here, stretch the shadows of men through the dark-led dance In dust, too dry to rot In rust, nothing left to burn To dusk-woven death The cinders lost to the moths The fire burns The fire cracks Like beetle wings Crack and come anew Consumatuum est - Gloria! Consumatuum est - Gloria! They're crouching at the door From mouth a sword of thorns My sad and suffering, gone away You'd take your hell And you'd put it in a hand basket With daisy chains and pretty lies Strike the heel and crush 'em underfoot I know that you've already won Strike the heel and crush 'em underfoot Your mighty work's already done Consummatum est - Gloria! Consummatum est - Gloria! Consummatum est - Gloria! Consummatum est - Gloria!
